Gerald F. Linderman - Embattled Courage: The Experience of Combat in the American Civil War

I owe much to many.

Robert Wiebe has generously continued to offer me a rare and inspiriting combination of acute criticism and warm encouragement. Jonathan Marwil met with boundless patience and astute advice my many requests for his assistance. Several friends and colleagues have extended their suggestions and support: John Bowditch, Theresa Canjar, Anne Caravias, Tom Collier, John Eadie, Katharine Ehle, Michael Fellman, Sidney Fine, Tom Leonard, Peter Maslowski, James Morgan, Bradford Perkins, Bryn Roberts, John Shy, Mills Thornton, James Turner, and Maris Vinovskis.

I am grateful, too, for grants provided by the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies of the University of Michigan and by the Smithsonian Institution. I am indebted to Forrest Pogue for his support of my work as a Smithsonian Fellow and to James Hutchins for his numberless kindnesses and his faith in the projects ultimate worth. Elizabeth Hall, Pat and Keith Matthes, Lindsay and Aaron Miller, and Helen and Hans Paeffgen made my year in Washington a time of special pleasure.

The staffs of the Graduate Library and the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, the Library of Congress, the Bowdoin College Library, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, and the William R. Perkins Library at Duke University were most helpful, especially in locating sources and granting permission to quote from them.

Joyce Seltzer has been a wise and perceptively provocative editor.

Janet Rose, Jeanette Diuble, Connie Hamlin, and Lorna Altstetter of the University of Michigans Department of History brought to this work a warm humor just as valuable to me as their help in the manuscripts preparation.

A final, incalculable debt is due my wife Barbara, who creates a peace within which it becomes possible to think about war.
